about

"World 1-2: Encore" is the followup to "World 1-2" that featured top-class videogame composers & arrangers, including Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill), Manami Matsumae (Mega Man), Keiji Yamagishi (Ninja Gaiden), Austin Wintory (Journey) and many more. "Encore" is one more ride with 14 remixes of some of our favorite games — from Mega Man and Zelda to Sonic and Super Hexagon and plenty others. It's a celebration of the art & craft of videogames. It retains the same nature of World 1-2: a multitude of genres and styles, mixed together in a playful way.

World 1-2 is a music project directed and produced by Mohammed Taher of Brave Wave, and the precursor to founding the label as an official company in Japan.

Very special thanks to Yousef Al Nafjan, 8-4, Jim Guthrie, Grant Henry, and all the fantastic original composers who laid the foundation for what would ultimately inspire the creation of this album. You're the best.
